Since the beginning of 2011, each electricity customer in Pennsylvania, except for the customers of rural electric cooperatives, has had the opportunity to select an electricity supplier that will be responsible for the generation and transmission of their electricity.
According to James A. Clark, an extension educator through the McKean-Potter Unit of the Penn State Cooperative Extension, there may be opportunities for significant savings for those who shop for an electricity supplier and especially for those who increase their energy efficiency.
Pre-registration is required to attend either of these sessions and can be done by calling or emailing Clark at the Penn State Extension office in Smethport at 814-887-5613 or jac20@psu.edu.
